Could be that they passed the evaluations and then went nuts later. There was that one astronaut who put on a diaper and drove across the country to confront her ex.

I think it's a mixture now. The two guys up there right now were in the Marines and Air Force. The Kelly brothers were in the Navy. They send up people from the military (who I think get transferred to NASA while they are astronauts) and civilian engineers and scientists and whatnot.

the whole story of how it changed is pretty funny, iirc gene cernen hung out with a geologist and realized him and the other apollo astronauts didn't know poo poo about poo poo and petitioned for actual scientists to go up with them

I think we're on track to leave some ruined bases/proto colonies on the Moon and possibly Mars at least!
